I know you like to blame Hartly for all things that are wrong at the club but I never really hear your thoughts on Dimwit? Team selection? Style of footy? Softness of players?
But you are super quick to pot Cotch for his leadership.
I'd think Dimwit's leadership is just as important as Cotch's and yet I never hear it from you.
I'd personally say he is the worst coach in the AFL. And it starts at selection two days before the game is even played. We play at least 2 or 3 short every week.
Hmmm
Not sure outside of being critical of Cotchin missing clutch goals last night I've potted Cotchin's leadership this game. If you think he doesn't deserve being criticised for this weakness in his game, then that's fair enough, your call. But it is major issue as it happens far too often
I blame Hartley for the things he has the most influence on. Eg the debacle that is Hampson and let's throw in the 2 year contract that Hunt was given. Look at our list in particular those we retain, this is Blair's domain as the list manager and the evidence is clear I would have thought.
As for Hardwick, I have made it very clear I don't agree with the contract extension, stupid idiotic decision. I've also made it very clear that I believe his biggest weakness his continually playing of favourites who don't warrant it. It has cost so many games I've lost count. It should and will ultimately cost him his job IMHO
As for selection see above. I gave up trying to make sense about selection a long time ago. I think you are being generous when you suggest we play 2-3 short each week. Some weeks we've played 4 down due to selection
First of all I didn't mention this year considering it's 2 rounds in. You made it very clear last year with your continuous garage about Cotchin's leadership. As I said last year you have NFI what sort of leader Cotch is. All you see from your seat 100 rows back on game day and if Cotch misses a few goals automatically he is a bad leader. I don't mean to be rude WP but you have no idea! So don't pretend you do. I'd prefer someone else as captain too but that's only from the outside looking in. Coaches and players that know a whole lot more than me and you seem to think he is our best option. So stop the uneducated " he missed a few goals dribble and move on. Cotch is the least of our worries IMO. Could he be playing better? Yes but poo, so could every player on our list.
Now on to BH, what has he got to do with player contracts? Isn't player contracts what DR does? Considering we poached him from ESP as a player manager looking after player contracts????
And I'm sure DH has a lot to do with who gets a contract and how doesn't. Your contunuous crap about BH is boring and simply isn't correct. I'm not saying everything he has touch has turned to gold but come on mate, FJ has way more to answer for for our list. Most of BH's guys have played their roll but also needed to be moved on but you cannot blame him for them still getting a game 4 or 5 years later.
And lastly on DH, sure you question some selection decisions but so do even the most "I love everything Richmond" people on this site. I don't recall you ever calling for his head after watching the same crap game plan for 6 years. You'd prefer to talk about 2 goals missed by Cotch in the second quarter.
I just cannot believe with our list the way it is and the style of footy we continue to play that some guys have still got a job. Let alone are given contract extensions a year out from their current one expiring.
Does anyone other than BoJo think FJ has done a good enough job with our recruiting to still have a job 10 years in?
